What you should know

The Minnesota Golden Gophers should go into this matchup well rested after a week out. Minnesota and the Illinois Fighting Illini will go head-to-head in a Big Ten bout Saturday at 12:00 p.m. ET at Memorial Stadium. These two teams averaged few points (the Golden Gophers 8.8, Illinois eight), so any points scored are well-deserved.

Minnesota came up short against the Purdue Boilermakers two weeks ago, losing 20-10. QB Tanner Morgan had a memorable game, but not in the way you’d like to remember: Not only did he manage a single touchdown, he also threw three interceptions.

Meanwhile, Illinois and the Iowa Hawkeyes were 6-6 at halftime last week, but Illinois strengthened in the second half to a 9-6 win. The Fighting Illini’s RB Chase Brown did his thing, picking up 146 yards off the ground with 31 carries.

Special Teams was responsible for all of the team’s points. K Fabrizio Pinton delivered a perfect 3v3 game.

The Golden Gophers are the favorites in this instance with an expected 6.5 point lead over the win. Those burned by picking against the spread two weeks ago should consider that the squad has yet to drop consecutive games against the spread this season.

Illinois’ win lifted them to 5-1, while Minnesota’s loss dropped them to 4-1. After four turnovers, the Fighting Illini struggled to keep the ball. We’ll see if Minnesota can exploit this vulnerability.
